I did a similar Mustang in ProStreet, until the save game got corrupted and lost everything >=( 'twas a '05 Mustang GT, but the design was inspired by this: Narwhal, did you do all the vinyl work on that SLR yourself? Looks really cool

Hmm, for all you people hankering for Ferraris: did you notice that even though there were Ferraris present in the original Hot Pursuit and High Stakes, you weren't actually allowed to drive them in hot pursuit mode? Jus' sayin'...

Aw man, you beat me to it... Ah well, at least there's still this:

Why'd they get Ferraris when they don't appear in the game? ;)

Oh it's out already?

I really resent that new (ex-Ferrari) CEO of theirs for this new direction he's chosen to lead the company in. Look at Lotus' history: when have they ever made cars as big, heavy and complicated (Elite: folding hardtop? Seriously?) as these. It goes completely against what the brand has stood for ever since Colin Chapman started it. Yes, Lotus should start chasing a few Ferrari/Porsche sales, and for that they do need a rubbish car - the Esprit (although they could be more imaginative and think of a new name). But to move the entire brand upmarket is definitely a poor move. There aren't enough people out there with that kind of money (i.e. people who buy supercars to show off) who'd choose these over the cachet of a Ferrari or Lambo. I hate to say it, and I really hope i'll be proven wrong, but I do think Lotus will flop with these. Oh and they especially won't succeed if all the designers did was feed the same design into the photocopier and making them in different sizes... [mod edit:] Please do not swear or use asterisk's to mimic swearing, thanks.

Meh. That Mustang's side stripe looks quite off... Here's mine: http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/Juiced%202/Juiced2_HIN2010-10-0600-11-33-53.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/Juiced%202/Juiced2_HIN2010-10-0600-11-45-74.jpg

Yup I did hear of it. Saw it first on Jalopnik, followed by Autocar and Top Gear a few days later

If there are no minor roads at all in this game, I think it's a refreshing change from the norm. There are just too many driving games these days where the free-roam area is in city streets. Wide open roads make sense, because you can really stretch these supercars' legs

It's not much, but then I'm not so good at People shots... http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/iw4sp2010-10-0800-12-18-58.jpg edit: changed entry

The cop cars get more awesome all the time... A Maserati GranTurismo cop car? Really? I can haz one? Yay! :p Must say though, the Ford GT's cop paintjob is a bit too Stars N' Stripes for me. But that is forgiven because of the Viper SRT-10's green and white Sheriff's paintjob. I can't wait for this!

Nice to see a ProStreet car do well once in a while. Nice job guys

How hard can it be?

Hmm so how many cars are there, and is there damage if you crash?

I'm fairly intrigued by this... I'm guessing this is a sim that will teach learner drivers how to drive?

Pretty much the same for me then. This is the exact same reason why i hated Michael Schumacher during his Ferrari days... Ah well, at least next year might be a little more promising with the new rules. Other than Ford, Citroen and Mini, do you know who else will be competing? Skoda has a S2000 car but I'm not sure if they're stepping up to the top league?

So would you say the game itself is poor, or more a reflection of the state the WRC is in now? For me it's the latter (only 2 works teams? Really?), because the game is, if not entirely realistic, then at least pretty fun

You have an engine lift in your garage... THAT IS SO AWESOME

Downloaded the WRC FIA game demo. Is pretty fun, much more so than the trailers and beta gameplay videos had led me to believe... http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/WRC%202010/Launcher2010-09-2916-41-38-43.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/WRC%202010/Launcher2010-09-2916-50-27-64.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/WRC%202010/Launcher2010-09-2917-16-46-50.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/WRC%202010/Launcher2010-09-2917-01-50-46.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/WRC%202010/Launcher2010-10-0123-22-59-30.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/WRC%202010/Launcher2010-10-0123-26-23-49.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/WRC%202010/Launcher2010-10-0123-36-45-37.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/WRC%202010/Launcher2010-10-0123-27-28-83.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/WRC%202010/Launcher2010-10-0123-28-45-88.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/WRC%202010/Launcher2010-10-0123-37-53-97.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/WRC%202010/Launcher2010-10-0123-29-20-69.jpg As you can probably tell, I much prefer Mikko Hirvonen to Sebastian Loeb... ;)

Gosh that white Audi Quattro is beautiful... Argh, I really hate this country... Cars are so bloody expensive :'(

Bollocks about the price, otherwise i found a very nice MR2 for £6000... Anyway, here's mine http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=79259&DL=1059

Oh, one more thing I forgot to add - have fun setting off metal detectors at airports for the next 2 years :D

Revan. Don't know why, but that look just works for the Integra

You sound fairly chipper for someone who's just had such a big accident... ;) Man that sounds painful, I suppose this is the reason my parents don't want me to ride a bike ever. Still, at least you're (mostly) in one piece and the injuries aren't permanent. Here's hoping you fix up quickly and get back to riding bikes again (though cars are obviously better :p) BTW how did you find out that paramedic did MotoGP?

Nuts! I was just about to change my entry!!! :( Han on a minute, it's only monday, so doesn't that mean entries are only supposed to close today? :confused:
